You now have my vote for as long as you wish to stand.
Please keep calling out the government of the day.
Independent, uninhibited voices such as yours are required and you sure have filled that role.

SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOUR
THE behaviour that has been displayed around the world by these fuddled-brained individuals, who claim that they have had their rights and freedom of choice taken away from them due to COVID-19, is violent and shameful.
Governments around the world are desperately trying to control the spread of this deadly virus, which is claiming so many lives every day.
Of course we have a right to freedom of choice, but not when it involves the lives of others.
Would these demonstrators expect medical help if they were struck down with COVID-19 and their life was in the balance, or would they argue that they have a right to refuse as is their choice?
These individuals here in Australia who have brought shame on us with their disgusting and uncalled-for actions towards the premiers of the states should feel shame and self-loathing.
But I doubt very much most of them have their brains in working order.
The world is facing a disaster that will leave us all in an uncertain future and the ones to suffer the most will be the very poor and uneducated.
Not a very bright outcome for us all.
Jo Ford, Legana.
DIVISIVE REMARKS DON'T HELP
IN reply to Peter Doddy (The Examiner, November 23) regarding Michael Mansell's letter in The Sunday Examiner (November 21).
Did you read Mr Mansell's letter, Mr Doddy?
His letter referred to Aboriginal heritage, which is not owned by Aborigines but by the government, and white heritage isn't.
Not anywhere in the letter did Mr Mansell state that today's Australians are accountable for the past.
The title of your letter is "We are one nation", and your last sentence is, "We are all Australians", yet throughout your letter you write "them and us".
Are we one nation?
I don't think so.
You state that Aborigines get "specialist treatment" in the hospital system, just another divisive remark without backing it up, and you say Mr Mansell is divisive.
And if you took the time to read his letter properly, I would guess that there would be many Tasmanians who would agree that Aboriginal heritage should be back in the hands of its rightful owners - the Aboriginal community.
